In depth

Verdict

Dalvey is clear on official ratings but has been beaten in two Dundalk claimers recently and appears unlikely to run up to his mark. RAAMEZ has failed to complete in two of his last three starts over hurdles but won on the Flat in France and may be good enough. These Days has the form to win this but hasn't run for almost a year and though Twenty Minutes has finished a close second here that was back in 2019 and he's been in poor form.
